Hart High School feeds more than 400

By Signal Staff

Over 400 people in need came to Hart High School's dinner where they received a meal and each family took home a bag of canned foods and clothes.

More than 400 people received a holiday dinner sponsored by Hart High School’s Associated Student Body for homeless students from the school and needy families from the nearby area. The dinner of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls and dessert, was donated and prepared by students, parents and community volunteers.

After dinner each family received a bag of canned foods and clothes, including jackets, heavy sweaters and blankets. Each child received a gift from Santa Claus. The Hart High School faculty and various student groups contributed to a canned food drive in November and a toy drive in December to support the event.

The dinner was organized by Kailey Giordano, who serves as ASB philanthropist, and Taylor Arnone, ASB ambassador and student representative to the William S. Hart Union High School District board. More than 40 students, parents, faculty members, Hart High School administrators and district personnel helped with the event.
